Daily driver Dodge Ram

Little video about the brake change. Did I do them to the dealership standard? Probably not. Have there been any problems in about 700 miles of driving? No. Job complete in my mind.

Replacing brake pads and rotors on my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 - YouTube

You should take that beast off-roading

Uhhh I did. Can't you see all that mud and dirt in those photos??

Finally got the brakes changed on the truck. As you might be able to tell from one of the rears pads, they were overdo and making a bunch of noise. The fronts were probably replaced more recently and could have stayed on but I bought a kit so might as well put all corners on. New pads and rotors all around. Afterwards, I decided to clean up the truck and go take a few beauty shots. I did try to make a little video changing the brakes so maybe when I finally look at it, I might try to put a Youtube video together for it.

Red Top optimas aren't what they used to be.

lol yes please. Clean out your ashtray and post pics. We need to know what’s in there!

Coins. Please don't rob me. Remember when toll booths actually wanted money and not just laser beam right into your bank account.

Don't worry about the battery, if you ever get stranded somewhere on Hoth in those below zero temps you can always cut in to your Tauntaun with your lightsaber and harvest the warm inner components.

Good thing I'm not adventurous and drive to backcountry places. Anyways, my gf's lightsaber is bigger than mine. This was from a few years ago trying to learn PS haha.

*And it was in this moment, he knew he fu'd up*

Hmm the battery probably is fairly old. I need to fix other things too. But hey, r3v thread material!

Optima batteries are def worth the extra coin.

I would have known the symbol meant battery if it was just lightning bolt, not sure why they had to decorate it. Could have spent that engineering budget on something better. No wonder why we don't have flying cars by now.

You know, the more confusing and harder to service something is, the more likely it is to come back to the manufacturer for work.

I knew Chrysler liked old tech, but batteries in pottery hasn't been a thing for a few hundred years.

Went to go to the gym today and the truck had a bit of a labored start. Whatever. Made it to the first street light and noticed a flashing light on my dash. Lightning bolt in a vase. Interesting. Thought, maybe no gym today and I should get back home. Turned around and couldn't get over 20-25 mph. Oh yeah, it was -14 F today and I haven't driven in a few days. Figured the battery was low on juice from the cold and it was preventing the engine from running right. Will stay parked until Sunday or so when it's suppose to be back to "normal" winter temps around 20-30 F.

Anyways, found a few old pictures from one of my last excursions in California down the coast to Big Sur.
